Henry Hudson

Henry Hudson’s (b. 1982 lives and works in London) multifaceted practice incorporates painting, sculpture, etching, performance, and most recently Woodburytype printing. Integral to Hudson’s practice is the relationship between image and overt materiality, revealing a poignant social commentary through a confrontational and masterful subversion of traditional mediums. Hudson’s opulent plasticine paintings serve as a satire of the madness of contemporary life. His theatrical scenes reveal a grotesque and depraved version of humanity, and reference political and contemporary affairs, consumerism and obscene products of salacious desire. His most recent body of work, Woodburytype Series, sees the artist re-visit this historical printing process, and true to the artist’s practice, examines past traditions through contemporary narratives.
